'Patel will say: “Today I can announce I will increase the maximum penalties for disrupting a motorway; criminalise interference with key infrastructures such as roads, railways and our free press ....'

This is an illustration how dishonest not only the UK government is over their position on the climate crisis, but governments all around the world. These things getting special protection are all key components, which have driven and enabled the climate and ecological crisis.

Patel talks about the laughably and inappropriately named "free press". This is essentially a billionaire propaganda outfit, which promotes climate change denial, and supports the Conservative Party. That fails to hold this government to account. It is anything but free.

This is simply turning the police into a private security force to protect damaging vested interests destroying the Earth's life support systems, and the propagandists facilitating it.

However, far worse than this, it makes environmentalists and concerned scientists falsely look like radical ideologues, simply they are trying to present the case based on science, about this crisis, which the media is failing to inform the public about.

Vested interests, billionaires and the politicians in their pocket abuse their power and wealth, to falsely present themselves as voices of moderation, and those arguing from the science, as extremists.

What is happening is this government, other governments, vested interests and the fossil fuel industry, want to present fake "net zero by 2050" as a solution, and are desperately trying to stop those in the know from pointing out to the public that they are being conned.

Having already stitched up the media, the government wants control of all means which informed people can use to inform the public of the huge danger they are in, and how serious the climate and ecological emergency is, and what a threat it is to the people.

There wouldn't be any need for NVDA, if governments simply heeded the scientific advice, and took appropriate action to avoid a completely avoidable ecological catastrophe, which will destroy over half the life on Earth and make much of our planet uninhabitable.
